Giving tribute to the way nature turned the stones into a viable item..Did you paint the picture? I also paint and love that better than writing.

Reminds me of the cottage in the movie "The Quiet Man." Well done! Well done indeed.

Ah, nothing like oils to bring a pic into 3D..This is truly gorgeous, such nice depth you achieved.I became allergic to oil paints, so now just use acrylics, but I always admire oils..Lovely..T..

Wow, I love the softness of the texture and the color. Simply beautiful. Makes me think of something out of a wonderful fairy tale.

I think the rendering of the stone is particularly impressive, creating a wonderful solidity in the textures of this painting. This , in turn, conveys the strength and structure of the building itself. A delightful, informative picture.

Hi, I like the rough way you present this, it gives us a real sense of the wildness of this place. And that little sheltered garden in the foreground suggests this place might be a haven.

Wonderful work! So well captured! I particularly like the roof, I can really sense the texture of the straw :) Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for sharing :)

This has an impressionist feel to it which is why it caught my eye.
I particularly like the thatched roof, contrasting so perfectly with the blue background.
Beautiful

I've never been to Ireland, but the cottage was welcoming and seemed to have been built with love. I like the richness and vibrancy of colors like the blue sea, green land and golden straw on the roof. The textured cloud was a perfect addition.
